In the same way, Bobi Wine tweeted; After illegally blocking our Prayers at Nsambya Sharing Hall, we went ahead and held them outside the closed gates. I’m sure God heard our prayers- what is left now is for us to do our part! The cowardly regime enforcers have arrested over 20 of our comrades!

……for simply coming out to pray and stand in solidarity with us. We are coming together as the #UnitedForcesOfChange. God willing, we shall accomplish the mission.
